They are relatively easy to take apart and self service. Most of it just undoes except the covering of the eye piece which has a tiny screw, easily lost if not careful.

I have taken mine apart numerous times and it still works perfectly. Think mine was £8 from if I remember correctly the old VHF supplies.
